DF11-8DS-2C(30) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-8DS-2C(30) is an 8-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for applications requiring 2.00mm pitch receptacle connections with crimp termination. This part is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and design continuity. The substitute parts listed maintain functional compatibility through matching electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved availability and active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11-8DS-2C(30) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (8), pitch (2.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (2.00mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), and color (black). All identified substitutes maintain these parameters without deviation, ensuring direct functional compatibility at the housing level. The substitute parts are grouped into two categories: the MFR Recommended substitute (DF11-8DS-2C) from the same manufacturer series, and the Parametric Equivalent (0511100850) from Molex, which matches all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering alternative sourcing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-8DS-2C is the primary recommended substitute, offering direct compatibility as an active product within the same Hirose DF11 series. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while providing significantly higher inventory availability (72,130 units) and active product status. Both parts carry RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The 0511100850 (Molex Milli-Grid 51110 series) serves as a parametric equivalent for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -30°C to 85°C) or alternative insulation material properties (polyester glass-filled versus polyamide nylon). This cross-manufacturer substitute maintains all critical mechanical parameters and compliance certifications, providing design flexibility when Hirose series components are unavailable or when thermal performance requirements exceed the DF11 series capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-8DS-2C directly replace DF11-8DS-2C(30)? A: Yes. Both parts are 8-position receptacles with 2.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, and identical mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is product status: DF11-8DS-2C(30) is obsolete while DF11-8DS-2C is active. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What are the key differences between Hirose DF11-8DS-2C and Molex 0511100850? A: Both maintain identical connector geometry, pitch, position count, and termination method. Differences include insulation material (Hirose uses polyamide nylon; Molex uses polyester glass-filled), operating temperature range (Hirose -30°C to 85°C; Molex -40°C to 105°C), and manufacturer series designation. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings? A: No. All three parts (DF11-8DS-2C(30), DF11-8DS-2C, and 0511100850) are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitutes? A: Both active substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications? A: The Molex 0511100850 supports operating temperatures to 105°C, compared to 85°C maximum for the Hirose DF11-8DS-2C. Select the Molex part for applications requiring extended thermal performance.
